“Why don’t you lay your sword down and let me allow you to die happily instead?” retorted Ling Chuxi with a snort. What she hated the most were idiots who thought too highly of themselves. Obviously, these people were here to carry out an assassination, yet this guy wanted to speak so righteously as if being able to die at his hands were a great gift. She really wanted to stomp on his face and grind her foot in it a few times before spitting a mouthful of spittle on him.
If one can’t beat their opponent, then they should run. Such a tactic wasn’t called being shameful, it was called knowing one’s own abilities. The future contains many days ahead, and as long as one was alive, there is always hope for the future! However, if Ling Chuxi wasn’t able to run away this time, then she did not mind putting her life on the line to put up a fight. Even if she were to die, she would die with dignity. To live kneeling or die standing? Ling Chuxi’s choice was naturally the latter!

He knew that he should not be talking so much, but still, he could not help but speak. The potential, mindset and sheer guts displayed by the young maiden before him made him feel reluctant to let her just die here. How brilliant of a pearl would this young maiden be given time!
Out of cautiousness, even though he knew that Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen had no way of escaping, Ghost Shadow still did not want to reveal his own identity and origin.
Knowing it in the heart was one matter, but personally saying it out loud was another. He absolutely could not leave any room for carelessness in these kinds of things.
“Your sect, huh. Hmph. Do you think there is a need for me to join Cold Moon Palace?” asked Ling Chuxi without reservation.
“I know the Su family has already handed over Resurrection Hall into your hands, but the Golden Pill Sect has already been annihilated for over thousands of years. How could wanting to revive such a sect be that easy? Join us and you would be able to learn the cultivation method countless cultivators dream of, and even become your generation’s strongest cultivator at the peak of your abilities,” said Ghost Shadow, continuing to lobby.
Despite all his words, he did not really specify anything. Since Ling Chuxi had already called out Cold Moon Palace, then there could only be two outcomes regarding today’s matters. Either Ling Chuxi joined Cold Moon Palace and everything would be swiped clean, or Ling Chuxi had to pay with her life to keep this a secret. The latter situation was one that Ghost Shadow truly did not wish to see.

“Flowing Clouds Sect! You are actually someone from Flowing Clouds Sect!” exclaimed Ghost Shadow after he took a clear look at the token in Ling Chuxi’s hand. His face was full of shock and disbelief as he observed in detail the token in Ling Chuxi’s hand. He was definitely not wrong, that was indeed the Flowing Clouds Sect token and furthermore, it was the token of an inner disciple. Ling Chuxi was actually someone belonging to Flowing Clouds Sect? How could this be! However, this token was truly not fake, it was a genuine token!
Ghost Shadow’s expression changed drastically, and his mighty stance also weakened. His heart turned a hundred, no, a thousand times over. If he had known that Ling Chuxi was someone from Flowing Clouds Sect, no matter what, he would have refused Qing Lingyan’s order. But now, it was already too late. From the moment they made their moves, this matter was destined not to end without a death.
A dense murderous light flashed across Ghost Shadow’s eyes. Since Ling Chuxi took out a Flowing Clouds Sect’s token, then continuing to persuade Ling Chuxi to join Cold Moon Palace was meaningless. Given that the reputation and cultivation skills of Flowing Clouds Sect was way above Cold Moon Palace’s, Ling Chuxi totally did not need to join Cold Moon Palace at all. Even if she was willing to somehow, once Flowing Clouds Sect found out about it, they would definitely not let things go so easily. To these ancient sects that have been passed down for generations for tens of thousands of years, their reputation and dignity was more important than anything else.
